    This was the diningroom with the temporary paint and flooring. As you can see, it is much less depressing and much easier to see in when it was lightened up. Now all of that has been demo'd. This pic was taken undecorated in the room as we were emptying it to do the demo.

    I have a very long livingroom with a front and side glass fireplace and a staircase leading upstairs. The room is narrow because of the fireplace. This is a pic part of the livingroom while the room was getting it's temporary paint. Same gray/blue carpet as the connected dining area. Unfortunately, even though I have already bought the flooring to match kitchen and dining area, this carpet will stay until the full demo is done in the livingroom and that paneling and popcorn ceiling are gone. I don't want to wreck my new floor!

    This is showing part of my livingroom with the temporary paint completed. It also shows the archway I had formed to turn an ugly supporting beam jutting out of the wall and strait across into an archway and entrance which now does not look like a paneled supporting beam. On the other side of the archway in the livingroom side I had recessed shelves built into the wall. 3 shelves for books and decor. Now I have a small wall in the diningroom to put those two pantries (it was completely open to LR). I also have wall space on the livingroom side for a small piece of furnitures and the new shelves.

    My livingroom has always had orange accents but I had to add some blue in there too so it looks like I actually planned that ugly carpet. I left some orange accents in, but I changed out some artwork on the walls to incorporate the blue and also added blue accents too. I'll show a pic of the wall art later when it shows up in the google cloud.

    @deepwoodslady - Thanks for sharing all the reno pics. It has been a huge part of your life and will be great to get more progress but for now you've done a wonderful job taking the 70s out of the house!

    @deepwoodslady - First ((HUGS)) regarding being out of breath, scared, and concerned. I think many of the recommendations were great! NEAT! I have one to add. Have you considered very light isometric exercises or physical therapy moves? Ones you can do even when the house is full of people and doesn't require to really exert yourself physically.

    Here is a video of a physical therapy stretching moves I watched that I found interesting and might provide you some new ideas.
    Stretch your limits with Michael Tsang

    Thinking of you and can't help but hope that your doctor visit in June helps you find a resolution to the issues you are facing.

    WEEK 9 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.6 Loss


    Day 64…..04/03…..199.8…..(Trend weight 199.6) Lunch out with a friend yesterday. ½ for lunch and ½ for dinner. Bouncy-bounce.

    Day 65…..04/04…..198.2…..(Trend weight 199.5) Really no change in behaviors here (though there should be more!) I’m not sure why I go up and down but here it is today. Lowest weight since Mar 14. I’ll take it, shake it and see what I can do with it.

    Day 66…..04/05…..198.8…..(Trend weight 199.4) My daughter brought donuts home last night which was a special treat from out of town. I just wish she had brought ONE. Today I am planning a big pot of soup for dinner and she is inviting her boyfriend to join us. I will keep portions under control and try to make up for yesterday a bit. Cooking is challenging right now. The stove is in the livingroom sitting on a cement board on the carpet. The kitchen is fully gutted down to studs so dishes are in my bedroom and anticipated food items we may need in the next month or two is upstairs on the landing. Pots & pans on the console style entertainment piece under the LR tv. The back & forth for every spoon or glass is giving me extra steps. It all adds up!


    Day 67…..04/06…..199.6…..(Trend weight 199.5) Hello Donuts from 2 days ago. I won’t be sorry to see you go. BTW, if I get time today I may post an extra post to share something I have been hesitant to talk about. However, I've since realized that anyone who chimes in may be a great help. Stay tuned.....

    Day 68…..04/07…..DNW…..(Trend weight xxxxx) Travel.
    Day 69…..04/08…..204.0…..(Trend weight 200.2) OMG! Heavy food day during travel and no movement to speak of. Gotta get this back down or I’ll be spending April hiding under the blankets!


    Day 70…..04/09…..202.0…..(Trend weight 200.4) Probably a water weight loss after the travel meals. It was too big of a jump when I got home so I knew something was up. Now…..to get it back under 200 then get some real fat loss progress going!

    WEEK 10 LOSS OR GAIN:

    Day 71…..04/10…..199.8…..(Trend weight 200.3) Travel weight/water retention disappearing which is fair. Now down to the nitty gritty.

    Day 72…..04/11…..201.8…..(Trend weight 200.5) Wow, first a big drop, then a big gain. I’m all over the place! I had a light breakfast, out to lunch with a friend for lasagna and garlic toast. I ate half and had the other half for dinner. It didn’t seem like too much food for one day but…..well……pasta!

    Day 73…..04/12…..200.8…..(Trend weight 200.5) Travel today and Friday. I will try to make good choices but it’s never good. The lack of any activity while driving really hurts too. This will be a challenging week.

    This is the special soundproofing and fireproofing insulation between floors that I've added.


    0kavbetkby23.png

    Picture makes it look small in the reno'd bathroom but this is a large shower. At least 42" deep with custom tilework.

    jvs84z5aicpg.png

    This is the tilework done in the bathroom shower combo in the same green reno'd bathroom.

    ahxvpmwdrb0c.png

    Two walls of matching custom tilework in the counter area. Counter is small because it leaves the room further down for that extra shower.

    sa9hspwxo2ct.png

    One piece of artwork to incorporate the blue to match that ugly carpet in my livingroom (temporarily). Unfortunately, the pic does not accurately show the blue in the sky background.

    Another piece of wall art which incorporates the orange and the different shades of blue and gray which really works well with the ugly carpet. Bouncing around the room are blue candles, table scarves, throw pillows etc. along with florals that also contain my original orange. It is working for now until it's time for the livingroom reno. Then those popcorn ceilings will go too Yay!

    @deepwoodslady

    So glad that you posted those photos. This is going to be going on for a long time, and you have proven to be so patient.
    I love painted paneling for some reason, although I know that you aren't keeping it.
    The arch turned out great!
    Although this is upturning your life for now, it is also very exciting!

    When on Google photos, if they have been uploaded in your phone, we sometimes need to hit that circle with an arrow thing to refresh to the newest on the computer.

    Keeping doing the same thing will provide the same results.
    We have all tried to change our eating/lifestyle.

    Using what lost me a bunch of weight as a yardstick seems to be keeping me around the same weight. I don't know yet if it will also help me to get the last 25 pounds off, or if I will need to change what I am doing. Time will tell.

    The last time that I lost weight years ago I stopped tracking, thinking that I knew the portions and approximately how many calories I was consuming. Soooo, I gained 50 pounds.
    Never again. I am okay to track my calories the rest of my life rather than buy bigger clothes.
    Lately I have been putting my food in the tracker for the following day, knowing what I have taken out of the freezer. If I change it then I change what is on the tracker. It is keeping me honest and realistic.

    I get it that naturally skinny folks don't have to do this, those of us wanting to lose weight do.

    If you bite it, write it.

    So many great articles on this and studies of people who did and did not use food diaries. Double the progress by tracking 7 days a week for 6 months compared to those who don't.

    I am spending about 2 minutes per day putting my food in the tracker, but then again, I often eat the same thing so when I drop down breakfast the stuff is all there just requiring a checkmark.

    This is a weight loss journey. Not easy!

    13km of walking is a lot!

    Keeping doing the same thing will provide the same results.
    We have all tried to change our eating/lifestyle.

    Using what lost me a bunch of weight as a yardstick seems to be keeping me around the same weight. I don't know yet if it will also help me to get the last 25 pounds off, or if I will need to change what I am doing. Time will tell.

    The last time that I lost weight years ago I stopped tracking, thinking that I knew the portions and approximately how many calories I was consuming. Soooo, I gained 50 pounds.
    Never again. I am okay to track my calories the rest of my life rather than buy bigger clothes.
    Lately I have been putting my food in the tracker for the following day, knowing what I have taken out of the freezer. If I change it then I change what is on the tracker. It is keeping me honest and realistic.

    I get it that naturally skinny folks don't have to do this, those of us wanting to lose weight do.

    If you bite it, write it.

    So many great articles on this and studies of people who did and did not use food diaries. Double the progress by tracking 7 days a week for 6 months compared to those who don't.

    I am spending about 2 minutes per day putting my food in the tracker, but then again, I often eat the same thing so when I drop down breakfast the stuff is all there just requiring a checkmark.

    This is a weight loss journey. Not easy!

    @dawnbgethealthy "If you bite it, write it" I love it! Of course, I have to be willing to face my choices each day! I haven't been 100% ready for that yet but I'm getting closer. I actually track the first part of my day and then quit if it gets complicated. I'll get there. I've been on MFP a few years now so I know what to do, I've just got to get the resolve to do it. It is getting a little nicer here too on some days. While I don't feel I can tackle most of my street due to the incline, there is a small part which is less drastic that I could try (down at the cul-de-sac). It will be a little boring doing it over and over since it's only one house and a small strip of woods away but I am determined! I miss my walking! I am also waiting to hear if I can resume walking inside our K-12 schoolhouse. They stopped allowing it due to covid and I don't know if they will allow it again yet. Plus, there is a different principal now. I've put the call out and hope to hear we can do it after school. Planning a long walk like that would be actual exercise, not just NEAT which is our standard day to day walking movements. Wouldn't that be fantastic? In the meantime, lots of toe tapping here, some arm movements while sitting although using the arms can become a bit aerobic and keep me winded. Pacing when on the phone really adds up!

    Thanks for the comments on the pics. I'm not sure how to make them smaller LOL. But you get the idea of how messed up and in my face the work and the workers are. It is moving very slow because of poor Charlie. It will likely be MONTHS before I get the area back. However, like you said, it will be nice in the end. I chose a backsplash tile yesterday and brought one sheet home to test against paint. I love it. It's perfect but pricier than I would have hoped. I need something with a little pizzaz though since the cabinets will be white. I dread looking at the counter situation. The U-shape is the most expensive because of the seams at both corners. That means custom counters. For a nice surface (customed) we are talking between 2000 and 3000 and it is a small kitchen! My eye teeth are already falling out but I just don't want those seams that I would have in a laminate. That price is for an average looking granite (not spectacular looking) or a "hard surface" which is basically a Corion countertop. Any and all ideas from the gang here are appreciated.

    There are some silver glints to match going behind the stainless steel sink as well as the stainless appliances coming in. There is some dark brown which will match the laminate flooring. The rest is a shade of taupe which will perfectly match my paint. This should jazz up plain white cabinets a bit without going over the top. I'll coordinate my counter top selection when the time comes. I'll snap a pic with the tile against the projected paint color when I get a few minutes.

    My pic came out looking a little black & whiteish but hopefully you'll get the idea. This shows the taupe paint, the tile and the flooring that will be used. The tile has the dark parts to match the floor, the silver glints to match the appliances and sink and the taupe to coordinate very well with the walls. Now just to pop color into my accessories. All of mine are red for the kitchen and I may continue to use that color since I do like it if it's not overdone. On the left side of the pic you see Cat Pebbles' ear. She matches too and just wanted you all to know lol.

    WEEK 9 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.6 Loss


    Day 64…..04/03…..199.8…..(Trend weight 199.6) Lunch out with a friend yesterday. ½ for lunch and ½ for dinner. Bouncy-bounce.

    Day 65…..04/04…..198.2…..(Trend weight 199.5) Really no change in behaviors here (though there should be more!) I’m not sure why I go up and down but here it is today. Lowest weight since Mar 14. I’ll take it, shake it and see what I can do with it.

    Day 66…..04/05…..198.8…..(Trend weight 199.4) My daughter brought donuts home last night which was a special treat from out of town. I just wish she had brought ONE. Today I am planning a big pot of soup for dinner and she is inviting her boyfriend to join us. I will keep portions under control and try to make up for yesterday a bit. Cooking is challenging right now. The stove is in the livingroom sitting on a cement board on the carpet. The kitchen is fully gutted down to studs so dishes are in my bedroom and anticipated food items we may need in the next month or two is upstairs on the landing. Pots & pans on the console style entertainment piece under the LR tv. The back & forth for every spoon or glass is giving me extra steps. It all adds up!


    Day 67…..04/06…..199.6…..(Trend weight 199.5) Hello Donuts from 2 days ago. I won’t be sorry to see you go. BTW, if I get time today I may post an extra post to share something I have been hesitant to talk about. However, I've since realized that anyone who chimes in may be a great help. Stay tuned.....

    Day 68…..04/07…..DNW…..(Trend weight xxxxx) Travel.
    Day 69…..04/08…..204.0…..(Trend weight 200.2) OMG! Heavy food day during travel and no movement to speak of. Gotta get this back down or I’ll be spending April hiding under the blankets!


    Day 70…..04/09…..202.0…..(Trend weight 200.4) Probably a water weight loss after the travel meals. It was too big of a jump when I got home so I knew something was up. Now…..to get it back under 200 then get some real fat loss progress going!

    WEEK 10 LOSS OR GAIN:

    Day 71…..04/10…..199.8…..(Trend weight 200.3) Travel weight/water retention disappearing which is fair. Now down to the nitty gritty.

    Day 72…..04/11…..201.8…..(Trend weight 200.5) Wow, first a big drop, then a big gain. I’m all over the place! I had a light breakfast, out to lunch with a friend for lasagna and garlic toast. I ate half and had the other half for dinner. It didn’t seem like too much food for one day but…..well……pasta!


    Day 73…..04/12…..200.8…..(Trend weight 200.5) Travel today and Friday. I will try to make good choices but it’s never good. The lack of any activity while driving really hurts too. This will be a challenging week.


    Day 74…..04/13…..202.8…..(Trend weight 200.7) Travel always bites me in the *kitten*. What I hate most is that the trend weight is consistently over 200 and climbing. Oh, strength and resolve, where for art thou?

    Day 72…..04/11…..201.8…..(Trend weight 200.5) Wow, first a big drop, then a big gain. I’m all over the place! I had a light breakfast, out to lunch with a friend for lasagna and garlic toast. I ate half and had the other half for dinner. It didn’t seem like too much food for one day but…..well……pasta!


    Day 73…..04/12…..200.8…..(Trend weight 200.5) Travel today and Friday. I will try to make good choices but it’s never good. The lack of any activity while driving really hurts too. This will be a challenging week.


    Day 74…..04/13…..202.8…..(Trend weight 200.7) Travel always bites me in the *kitten*. What I hate most is that the trend weight is consistently over 200 and climbing. Oh, strength and resolve, where for art thou?

    Day 75…..04/14…..203.8…..(Trend weight 201.3) Feeling pudgy and squishy. Even my cat has begun to knead on my belly before laying down. Not a good sign! This is the day between two travels. I’ve got to make it count!

    Oh my gosh, you couldn't have picked a better backsplash to match Pebbles :):):)

    I love it and really appreciate you sharing this journey with us. It is so darned exciting!
    Your patience is incredible with Charlie, but he does very good work possibly because of the slowness.

    I am Dawn. 61, 5'2"
    I joined MFP October 28.18 at 191
    I averaged a 1 pound loss per month, so very slow.

    My ideal healthy weight by plugging in my numbers (height, age, measurements etc.) is 110-118

    I was close to the 120s in February of 2021 at 130.6.
    I was 131.1 in September of 2021. I somehow gained quite a bit since then, but in March of 2022 I did a cleanse to reset my body and eating habits and ended up with a small loss at the end of the month, the first loss in a long time.

    3/31 - 135.2
    4/01 - 137.4 - 2.2 pounds overnight?? I had a healthy and active day yesterday, so hoping that it is just a weird fluctuation. I am still going to use my EW from March as my start weight for this month though. No point (in my mind) of counting a loss if it is not cumulative.
    4/02 - 136.2 - Terrible day eating wise, I was so busy, then stressed, so basically didn't eat all day and then ate a bit but nothing nutritious. I will try to do better today.
    4/03 - 137.0 - Very early weigh in, I feel leaner than that. Up and down is normal for me though. I will get lots of activity in today, my day off, and will have time for healthy food prep.
    4/04 - 136.4 - Not a very good day for nutrition. Calories and activity were good.
    4/05 - 137.6 - ?? Such as it goes. Lots of workouts, good food choices.
    4/06 - 137.2 - Lots of workouts, good food choices, but very long workday and didn't finish dinner until midnight. Tonight will be the same.
    4/07 - 137.0 - It has been a busy work week for me with a couple of late nights. Food choices could be a bit better, but not bad overall.
    4/08 - 137.6 - Quite shocked by the jump, I awoke feeling quite lean and expected quite a drop today. My only difference yesterday was increased water. Maybe tomorrow : - )
    4/09 - 135.4 - Thank you all for the hugs yesterday. You would think that with 3+ years on MFP that I would be used to these fluctuations. I am okay to see a jump if I have had some indulgences, but when I am "good" consistently and keep seeing a rise I still get upset and demoralized by it. Today's weight was what I expected to see yesterday. Today I am going to have some indulgences, I will keep it under control and get lots of workouts in to mitigate it.
    4/10 - 136.4 - Up a pound, but expected it and am okay with it. I had nachos for dinner, so salt. Calories were within range. Having an indulgent meal is nice once in awhile.
    4/11 - 136.8 - On point yesterday, hopefully the last of the effects of nachos are showing up today and that tomorrow I will be lighter.
    4/12 - 136.6 - I thought that it would be lower, but better than yesterday, so I will take it.
    4/13 - 137.0 - I have been very "good", and creating good sized deficits from activity. Not happy to see this number this morning, nor expecting it. Trying to teach myself to take it in stride. Thinking that my body is a bit stuck around this weight, but going to keep working at it.
    4/14 - 135.8 - I don't know if my "good" week is catching up, or if this is just another fluctuation. Man this is hard!
